Best way I found to get rid of hair is when you have taken some tank water out when doing a wc keep it next to tank. Get a jug with fresh water in and keep next to tank aswell, then before you do any more of the wc start removing the algae but pinching it with two fingers and removing it from tank into the old tank water, then rinse fingers in fresh water so none of algae on fingers still and do this till u get it all. Then after finish of wc. Should get rid of it fast as cuc won't touch the algae if its long as only really like the new bits that grow, the cuc should then keep it at bay

Alright so blue leg hermits, turbo snails, and pinch off the big stuff and put into a bucket. Thanks guys! And whoever said emerald crab, wouldn't they try to eat my fish? I had problems with hermits eating them sooo...

Never had a problem with emeralds they get in between corals and hard to get places. If you have hair algae they will go for that and keep picking we're it starts backup.any crab will take free food if a fish dies there on it. Not necessary killing them.
